Murals Done Right

This is the complete opposite of the Giants of Edmonton, which is as institutional as public art can possibly be. These murals in Miami, FL are done by graffiti/street artists. Edmonton has so many blank walls...hmm...

Sao Paulo + Graffiti = Toursit Destination???

A travel website has a slideshow of some graffiti in Sao Paulo, so graffiti can attract tourists to your city!!! Hint, hint...Edmonton

Banksy is Witty

This Banksy piece appears in between billboards at a tram stop. I wish there was an Edmonton equivalent to Banksy, putting out these thoughtful statements in amongst corporate advertising...Something to make people think and question the current state of things. This image is open to interpretation, it can be read in more than one way. His communication is smart and simple. Awesome. A+.
